14. Space towing vehicle crewmember Sigourney Weaver can hit fast-moving aliens with guns she's never used before, but CIA operative Sigourney Weaver can't hit a simple guy a few feet from her as he's stumbling up stairs with guns she's used for many years.

15. Two cars rampaging through the capital of Spain with guns ablazing will not attract the attention of the police.

16. It's ok to get on a bus in Spain without enough money to pay the fare, as a kindly Spanish lady will happily pay the rest.

17. In Spain you can steal items from multiple market stalls without any of the stallholders noticing.

18. Even if it's only in a brief scene at the end, Colm Meaney is a joy to see even in the dullest film.

19. If your father was a CIA agent and gets killed in front of your eyes, be sure to take his gun. Because it's loaded with UNLIMITED AMMO. Best gun in the world - you'll never have to reload again!!!

20. If your car flips to its side and literally skids on the ground several feet, you'll be perfectly fine even if the window is wide OPEN. But the person who goes upside down is screwed.... Even if he survives and ends up having no broken bones afterwards.

21. Even if he's an inexperienced business consultant, you don't f$#^ around with SUPERMAN!

How does it feel to be deconstructed?

42. In Spain, the cobblestone streets are so soft and smooth that if you crash your scooter and slide 50 feet, you won't get any road rash on your bare leg.

43. When your long-barrelled pistol isn't working, you should switch to a less-accurate subcompact.

44. If your dead father only called 2 people ever, you should only check out one of them.

60. Sunrises are nearly instantaneous in Madrid, actually faster if you are being chased by gun thugs and/or Spanish police.

61. Officers on horseback never ride horses under bridges. The horses are too scared.

63. When you accept a ride in an embassy vehicle, they will go in the correct direction and you can have them stop in close proximity to the gun you hid.

64. When you have a gun, always bring a fist to a knife fight.

66. It only takes two CIA rogue agents, one of whom was recently worked over and the other being an older woman, to take out briefcase buyers as well as an entire squad of Israeli commandos.

67. Never shoot an armed rogue CIA agent when their back is turned to you. Allow them to get back into their vehicle and then chase them all over Madrid.

68. Aiming out a vehicle widow while driving produces unerring accuracy.

And you gave her a land mine? Really?

69. If an american gets shooted in Spain, he doesn't choose to go to a hospital in Madrid like any other person would do (even if the medical care is free in Spain) to get cured by a doctor, he prefers to go to a nightclub to get cured by a waitress (the most normal thing in the world to do in Spain).
